4 Use the left and right arrows to go to the IP Init menu, and
then specify the following IP settings for all IPv6 traffic
generated by the HST:
Setting Parameters
Source Type – Stateful (DHCPv6) - Select
Stateful if you want to obtain
the required global, default
gateway, and DNS server
addresses from a DHCPv6
server.
– Stateless - Select Stateless
if you know that routers on
the network allow stateless-
configuration. When you use
Stateless configuration, the
HST generates a tentative
link-local address, and then
performs Duplicate Address
Detection to verify that the
address isn’t already used. If
DAD is successful, the HST
then obtains a subnet prefix
from the router to build the
required global address.
– Manual - Select Manual if
you want to specify the
link-local address, global
address, subnet prefix
length, and default gateway.
Link-Local Addr
(if Source Type is
Manual)
Specify the link-local address.
Global Addr
(if Source Type is
Manual)
Specify the global address.
Sub. Prefix Len
(if Source Type is
Manual)
Specify the subnet prefix length.
This length is used to determine
whether the destination address
resides on the same subnet as
the source address.
